Real Wiper provides a simple yet robust solution for data wiping to ensure that all deleted files are unrecoverable.

Data mostly disappears when deleted through standard methods, and emptying your recycle bin is supposed to "permanently" remove the data (it doesn't). Yet, this data can still be retrieved using a recovery tool, which can be useful for recovering accidentally deleted items. However, using a specialized tool is a better option when you want to render sensitive data unrecoverable. Real Wiper is one such tool.

The Data Is Not Really Gone
Until new data overwrites it, old data remains on a storage device and is potentially recoverable. Real Wiper is a straightforward utility designed to effectively and permanently erase files, making the process simple and accessible to all users.

User-Friendly
When you open Real Wiper, you will see a clean interface allowing immediate access to all its data-wiping features. You can add specific files or folders you want to completely remove from your computer. After selecting the items to wipe, you can initiate the process via the "Start Wipe!" button. Real Wiper will then begin the secure deletion process, ensuring the selected data is permanently removed from your system.

Algorithms
Real Wiper's most expeditious deletion algorithm, Overwrite with Random, is the default option and is designed to meet the needs of the majority of users. Its functionality entails overwriting the sectors that house the relevant data with randomized strings, thereby rendering any attempts at recovery futile.

You can also use the more comprehensive US DoD 5220.22-M algorithm to delete your most sensitive data. Despite its thoroughness, this option is still relatively quick when used with a moderate amount of data. The available algorithms can be selected from the dropdown.

Real Wiper is a no-frills data deletion program. It proves that complete data deletion can be simple, making it an app worth taking out for a test ride.
